The carbon footprint of a supply and distribution chain is modeled as a carbon dioxide (CO2) cost that can be considered alongside monetary or dollar ($) costs in supply, manufacturing, and distribution operations. Databases on products and services, supply chain policies, and targets, costs, and/or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are used by a GHG calculator to output carbon footprint data and/or by a supply chain optimizer to output supply chain planning and policy data. Client computers obtain carbon footprint and/or supply chain planning and policy data by querying a server with access to a database storing calculated carbon footprint data. Input data to the GHG calculator is updated based on choices made by users of the system.
